Faculty Experiences with Classroom Response Systems (clickers)

Our panel of faculty will share their experiences using the iClicker classroom response system.  Find out first hand how clickers are being used on campus, what works and doesn't work, and what it takes to get started.

Panelists:

Ronald Lee, Demography & Economics: A course in transition... Ron came to ETS looking for ways technology could be used to help increase student attendance, participation, and satisfaction with his course. After one term using clickers, Ron shares his impressions and future ideas.

Lynn Huntsinger, Environmental Science, Policy & Management: New to clickers this term... Lynn shares her start-up experience, what types of questions she uses, and a student survey about clickers.

Daniela Kaufer, Integrative Biology: More than a sage on the stage... Daniela was eager to engage her students in class, but was finding it hard to get students to open up. Hear how she used clickers to get students more involved in lecture and what she learned NOT to do.

Michelle Douskey, Chemistry: Chem 1a, the full clicker experience... Michelle and the Chem 1a team use clickers and the data you can collect from them as an integral part of their teaching and research. She will share their experience, the benefits, and what it takes to pull it off.

California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education (Take 2)

The California Forums for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs of advanced undergraduates and master's candidates who belong to groups that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The groups include low-income and first-generation college students and especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.

Each California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education will bring together approximately 1,000 pre-selected, high-achieving undergraduate and master's students. The students will explore graduate opportunities and resources by participating in numerous workshops conducted throughout the day. Universities and individual graduate programs offering academic master's and/or Ph.D. degrees are welcome to participate in the recruitment fairs that will take place concurrently with the other planned activities. Note that these events are for all disciplines except MBA programs, medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law, all of which have their own recruiting networks.

This event was sponsored by the Cal NERDS and the Graduate Diversity Opportunity Program. Both programs are part of the UC Berkeley Division for Equity and Inclusion
